I am just about at wits end with a Bes install that the mds apache tomcat service just wont stay running long enough to load a ssl cert

so far i have done and uninstall/clean registry reinstall - same issue - made sure named pipes are enabled added stuff to the property file, and a few other fixes, to be honest i am just about ready to give up as has wasted countless hours last thing i have done - with no change is add the port number to the server.xml file - previously there was no port number

What kind of activation are talking about? MDS Activation or Enterprise Activation? MDS Activation is for users that want to download your published applications, whereas Enterprise Activation is to activate a user that you have added to the BES.

MDS Services is used when you want to publish applications that you have developed inhouse for your users to download to their BB.

The MDS Apache Tomcat is only for the MDS Services portion of the BES and does not affect Enterprise Activation.

no errors in the logs, every other service is fine, I was having issues doing wireless activation, so this morning I did a desktop activation. - Sent an email to the BB email address but it hasn't recevied it yet
